HIGBOLSOfJ EHPLMJSSTAND AGAINST PLAN FOB BIGGER DEFENSES

"No man I ever met, black or white, i

! Is strong enough to make me hate. I ihold my spirit above that despicable

! sentiment."

An editorial written by S. E. Nicholson, editor of the American Friend and published in a recent edition of that periodical, has received so many favorable comments, that it will be sent to

other religious papers for publications.

It is entitled, "Where Does the

Church Stand?" and is an argument

against the plan of national preparedness in the matter of military arma

ment for defense, only. The following two paragraphs of the editorials contain original arguments against the idea: Can the church deviate from the program of Jesus without i yielding the whole program of Christianity? If it be conceded that a war for defense is justifiable, how can we condemn

ship when it rejects the law of love

and pleads the rule of expediency

when human welfare is at stake.

Who is there that can determine

that a war for defense is justifiable, and that a war of aggression for wholly righteous ends is to be condemned? Who is there that can plead the justice of defensive strife and. not consent to offensive strife on the grounds of ultimate safety? If America shall prepare to defend herself against Germany or Japan, why shall we not arm for a speedy campaign of aggressive warfare to subdue both Germany and Japan while they are still unprepared, as being the surer guarantee of our own ultimate protection? Is It any more moral or religiousto wait until their hostile Intentions If they have any have culminated in an attack, and then with the greater use of men and money be compelled to use exactly the same methods of warfare to defend ourselves? The means are exactly the same in both' Instances, the same slaughter, the same suspicion, the same hatred, the same burdens, the same devastation, except that to strike in time when the enemy is unprepared, our losses will be materially lessened. It will be argued that attacks cannot be anticipated and that they may never really come. The very uncertainty and even improb.Xility of it should lead us to take risks in the other direction, without subjecting our people to the intolerable bur

dens of militarism for a defensive warfare that will probably never be re

quired, but the possibilities of which will be Increased many fold from the very moment we incite the suspicion of our neighbors by increasing our armaments.

BOYS EXCEL GIRLS

Boys of the fifth grade of Whitewater school excel the girls in the cooking classes according to D. D. Ramsey, the principal. Mr. Ramsey declares that the boys have demonstrated greater speed, more industry and that their products have better quality. There is great rivalry between the two factions, the principal says, but to date the boys have shown they are the better cooks.

HE1D?S MILITARY SYSTEM OPPOSED BY CAMBRIDGE

CAMBRIDGE CITY. Ind, Nov. 29. The plan proposed by Pettis A. Reld to introduce military training Into the public high Bchools of the state meets with a pronounced disapproval by the citizens of this community.
